On Saturday, Aug. 22 Oregon Right to Life coordinated anti-Planned Parenthood protests in Eugene and at clinics around the state. Planned Parenthood countered with a peaceful pink protest of its own.

Jimmy Radosta of Planned Parenthood advocates of Oregon tells EW:

Despite these protests, defunding Planned Parenthood has been and continues to be an extremely unpopular idea. The vast majority of the public rejects this extreme political agenda and rejects the fraudulent campaign behind it, because Americans know that Planned Parenthood provides high-quality health care in communities across the country.

Planned Parenthood is the most trusted women’s health care provider in this country. Highly trained doctors, nurses and other professionals have provided birth control, lifesaving cancer screenings, safe abortion and other high-quality health care for 99 years. One in five American women reports having been to Planned Parenthood for care.

Extremists who oppose Planned Parenthood’s mission and services are making outrageous and completely false claims. These videos are a fraud intended to deceive the public, and the real agenda of these attacks has become totally clear: to ban abortion and limit women’s access to reproductive health care at Planned Parenthood. The group behind these discredited videos has close ties with organizations and individuals who have been linked to firebombing abortion clinics and threatening the physical safety of doctors who provide abortion.
